Pixar

Today, I managed to catch the Pixar exhibition at Science centre before it says bye bye to singapore!

not bad, not bad. i think i just like looking at other people’s sketches, especially when they are this nice! 😀 I noticed the later animations’ sketches were done in digital painting mostly and while they look really good, i really prefer the old traditional sketches done in pencil, pen, markers, pastels, collage, acrylics so much more! it is something about the immediacy of those traditional sketches and how many of them done on paper cut off at odd corners and pasted on a newer paper for archiving, over-flowing to the rest of the paper, a little crinkled due to all that handling… it is the fact that the sketches looks handled that makes it so real and genuine. maybe it is just me. but these people have skill! amazing amazing, i could stare at the little resin model of Remy and his spoon all day or Edna Mode and her big-shot designer pose or any sketch/storyboard from "for the birds"… well. it was nice.

and now it looks like i might have to go pick digital painting as one of my modules as traditional sketching is getting outdated. poo-yee!
